"Dr. Who" might not be as familiar to American audiences, but across the pond the charming, cheese-filled Timelord has been a staple TV ingredient off and on for more than 40 years. This Saturday, BBC America will premiere the newest season for its American audiences.

Matt Smith, the eleventh and current actor responsible for the series' lead role (they have kind of a James Bond thing going), gave Entertainment Weekly the scoop on the new season.

I think Steven [Moffat, Doctor Who head writer and executive producer] is really pushing the form in terms of writing the show. He’s tailoring his writing more specifically than ever for me and Karen and Arthur, so that’s quite exciting.

The newest season will even have one episode penned by "Coraline" writer Neil Gaiman.

What an odd coincidence that you post this today: it is a sad day for Whovians: rest in peace, Elisabeth Sladen. We already miss you.

Also, I can't really stand the eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith), I'm much more a fan of Ten (David Tennant), Nine (Christopher Eccleston), Five (Peter Davison) and One (William Hartnell). :\

Oh, and Doctor Who has been aired in the US for a LONG time and actually does have quite an American (and North American in general) following.

Get the facts, SH.

Don't follow, but I watch it occasionally, and it is an awesome show.

It would be awful if they were doing an American version of it though.

I love the show but Matt Smith really really really SUCKS. What were they thinking his giant head would make him look smart and his bad acting would be viewed as quirky. I'm a huge fan of Tennant and eccelston but this guy is a misfit, hard to watch

Years ago it was so cheesy it was funny. It was black and white, and when they fired off an fx it would flare out the whole pic for a couple seconds.

I remember the second "Dr Who'? Patrick Troughton. It's better made now and a lot of fun. Tacky? Yes, but still fun.

Yes, I do! Matt and the rest of the new cast and crew are different but it's still pretty good. My mother on the other hand thinks Matt stinks. She was so used to Eccleston (I was too at first) and then Tennant in the role. Matt is quirky and has his own thing going on but it's okay. He handles the role better than I thought he would.

Just My Opinion 2011/04/20 22:52:17

Since I'm a big SCi Fi fan I've given the show a couple of tries. Sorry to say, I found it dull and amateurish. Perhaps I've been swayed by the special effects from the North American SCi Fi shows (Canada and America) and the rapid pace of the storylines..

Love Dr. Who. In this era, I liked Christopher Eccleston best. However, the DVDs I own are all with Tom Baker. I don't know which number he was, but he was always my very favorite.
